OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by diannep on March 10, 2011 at 6:43pm: Tears of joy and sadness in missing them when you read those letters....very normal, Lamarmama! Congrats on the letters, ladies!

Comment by sailormom ship 3 div 146 on March 10, 2011 at 5:51pm: Got my first personal letter also. I was crying half way through it. Can't wait for the next! :)

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on March 10, 2011 at 5:18pm: I just got my first personal letter and so happy. Doing the Happy Dance, but then ended up crying, but that is normal I suppose.

Comment by janlee on March 10, 2011 at 5:05pm: The perks are .....they are in 'charge',, but that also can come with a down side. If the recruits he is in charge of dont do the job up to standards...the petty officer is the one that i comes back on. This teaches the recruits to 'lead', and teaches the others that their mistakes affect others. Its all about team work...right down the line....

My son was petty officer of the 'head' (bathroom), he didnt have to clean it...he just had to make sure it was KEPT clean, or he was held responsible...Needless to say...he was written up a few times...hahaha!! But he learned..quickly!

Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 10, 2011 at 4:52pm: LOL thats great... Any other perks to being a recruit petty officer? Or is it just a nice job to have during BC?

Comment by janlee on March 10, 2011 at 4:49pm: ggnavy---hahaha...thats good. That means he is in charge of the mail delivery. He will be loved by ALL...lol !!

They have to train the mailmen in BC (being it is a federal job) and thats another reason why they dont receive our mail we send for a few weeks.

I know that in my sons division...they referred to the mailman as "Santa"...LOL!!!

Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 10, 2011 at 4:36pm: One more question :) My SR told me that he is a mail petty officer. What exactly does that mean?!

Comment by janlee on March 10, 2011 at 2:17pm: So far...there have been groups started above for divisions 145, 147, and 148 if there are any moms/wives/GF;s looking for those groups.

If you look up and dont see one for your division..either click 'view all' and scroll thru and see if there is one for yours (this front page only shows 4 items at a time) and if there isnt one started yet, feel free to start one...:))) I hope you all connect..

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on March 10, 2011 at 2:14pm: Lamarmama: I have a son in the same division. I just received my first letter from him. I was so excited and glad to hear he is doing really well. My son is a grad and go he will leave for San Antonio the next morning after graduation.
